The 2023 Census Teacher's Toolkit supports teachers to help tamariki and rangatahi learn about the census, and why it is important to take part.
Inside the toolkit
The toolkit was developed with Māori and Pasifika teachers, and tamariki and rangatahi. It includes:
- a tailored lesson plan that unpacks the concept of census through Māori and Pasifika ways of learning in nine Pasifika languages, English, and te reo Māori
- activity packs and fun video content featuring dancer and entertainer Elvis Lopeti, Celebrity Treasure Island finalist and member of Parris Goebel's acclaimed Royal Family Dance Crew
- a competition involving the creation of your own mini-census, with hundreds of chances to win a $100 stationery voucher for your class.
A sneak peek of the content: Census 101 with Mr. (Elvis) Lopeti
One of the resources is this fun two-minute video featuring dancer and entertainer Elvis Lopeti, Celebrity Treasure Island finalist and member of Parris Goebel’s acclaimed Royal Family Dance Crew.
In the video, Elvis helps explain the key concepts of the census in a fun, engaging way. The video has been created in TikTok style, designed to play to the classroom at any point in the lesson.
